Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass MIP Drain Cock Fitting

Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass MIP Drain Cock Fitting

The Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass MIP Drain Cock Fitting is a solid brass fitting built for drip-tight, low-point draining of tanks, water heaters, boilers, compressors and other equipment that requires a manual shutoff valve. This family is available in multiple MIP (male iron pipe) sizes — including 1/4MIP x 1-3/8", 1/4MIP, and 1/8MIP x 7/16" — so maintenance techs and plumbers can match the exact thread size and overall length their equipment requires. Every option in this series shares the same solid brass construction, giving each drain cock the corrosion resistance and long service life needed in wet, low-point drain applications. Whether bleeding condensate from a compressor tank or winterizing a water heater, this fitting threads directly into a tapped MIP port to give technicians a compact, reliable point to drain fluid during routine service.

Key Features

• Size Range: Available in 1/4MIP x 1-3/8", 1/4MIP, and 1/8MIP x 7/16" thread connections and overall lengths to fit a range of tapped ports.
• Material & Finish: Solid brass construction across the entire series for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet, low-point drain applications.
• Connection: MIP (male iron pipe) thread for direct installation into tapped ports on tanks, water heaters, boilers, compressors and similar equipment.
• Function: Manual drain cock design allows controlled opening and closing for draining and purging fluid from a system.
• Durability: Brass body resists the scale and mineral buildup that can seize lower-cost drain valves over time, so the valve still operates after long periods sitting closed.
• Consistent Fit: Standard MIP threading across every size option means a predictable, repeatable fit when ordering replacements for existing equipment.

Technical Specifications

• Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications
